Crank case bolts tightening sequence

[Homeoboxter]

Hi All,

I`m assembling the engine housing and I was wondering if anyone knows the crank case/engine halves-bolts tightening sequence, I assume there`s a specific pattern but I couldn`t find anything about it on the web. Thanks!

Yeah, this part is done already and I found these too. Sorry, I wasn`t clear, I meant the engine case halves, not the main bearing housing, or carrier. They are bolted with a bunch of M6 bolts.

I rephrased the post, I hope it`s more clear now.

Is this what you want? Note: I will probably delete these pics from Flickr after a day or two.

Best wishes getting all together!

Exactly, thanks!
The manual mentions an illustration of where exactly to apply the silicone bead, can you post that too if possible? How can you get this manual btw? Thanks again.

I'll find/post the other illustration tomorrow.
I found my set of manuals on local Craigslist about five years ago. There's usually a couple on eBay, but its not cheap:

There's also some copies that you can download scattered across the internet. Porsche stopped updating this version years ago, but for most tasks it's the best source of info, outside of having a dealership subscription.
